Ryan Howells, Program Manager of the CARIN Alliance and Partner at Leavitt Partners, shares how to kill the clipboard in healthcare once and for all. Ryan is reported to be a finalist to lead the ONC, and he recently co-authored a 17-page roadmap for federal policy and the industry to accelerate innovation and cut administrative waste. As an advocate for scaling open data standards at the federal level, his point of view on interoperability is important to understand as federal policy is being written as we speak. 

All that, plus the Flava of the Week about LillyDirect adding Alzheimer's care to its platform. Who’s really in charge of the journey when pharma becomes a care coordinator, and what role can Pharma platforms play in the continual evolution of healthcare becoming direct to consumer?
